The helmet is the most sacred piece. Remove it, and you remove yourself. But
damage it, and you compromise everything.

Micro-meteorite took a chunk out of the visor seal. Atmospheric venting. Had
to emergency seal with temporary beskar mesh and pray the bond held.

It held.

The helmet saved my life. Again. The beskar knew its duty even when I thought
all was lost.

Now it bears a scar. Another story. Another reminder that the armor protects,
but it also survives. Like us. Like the Way.
